    The BEST Detective/Crime films of the Film Noir era?

    Beyond the classic noir films, I also enjoy the comedy/mystery films of the era. The Thin Man films were mentioned. Also there are the Michael Shayne films with Lloyd Nolan, The "Whistling" films with Red Skelton, the "Falcon" films with George Sanders. Almost every studio made a series of...

    George Hurrell 40s style photography

    George Hurrell shot primarily with an 8x10 view camera. This accounts for the amazing detail in the images, and the very shallow depth of field. Doug

    Here are some of my latest images. This is Kathleen Raye, a wonderful model from northern Arizona. Hope to work with her again soon.

    Vertigo named 'Greatest Film of All Time'

    I wouldn't say that MOST Hitchcock films are overly theatrical. Vertigo is surely the most theatrical of his 50's period. Rear Window isn't this broad. If you watch North by Northwest, made just the next year, its fairly under played. Doug

    Vertigo named 'Greatest Film of All Time'

    I've found that most of Fellini's films were vastly over rated by the "hip" crowd in the 60's. Doug

    Vertigo named 'Greatest Film of All Time'

    Casblanca, yes was just another of the 52 films that Warners made every year, but with a budget of 1.2 million dollars, it could hardly be called a "B" Picture. And in fact it made almost 4 million in its original release, an huge hit and very well loved film in its own day. You might also...

    Vertigo named 'Greatest Film of All Time'

    I would choose Rear Window or North by Northwest before Vertigo. Vertigo, while being an interesting film, is flawed by its overly theatrical acting style. Of the films listed, The Searchers is the only one I would include on a top ten list. Doug

    Bad repro looks

    Some Hollywood westerns are more accurate than others. Tombstone was actually pretty accurate when it came to the costumes. The Italian westerns were not particularly accurate at all. Arizona in the 1890's. Doug

    Dressing for ‘Gilligan’s Island’

    Early in season 1, many of Ginger's outfits were apparently made of materials left over from the wrecked S.S. Minnow. As they got toward the latter half of the first season, they abandoned that pretense. Doug

    Classic 1950's Sci-Fi> Should we redo them today?

    How about the Disney version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, or the 1979 Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the 1979 Dracula, or the 1992 Dracula. I thought Ocean's 11 was a pretty good remake. Doug

    Classic 1950's Sci-Fi> Should we redo them today?

    The ironic part is that in 1953, Disney bought up the camera negatives for all the previous film versions of 20,0000 Leagues Under The Sea (1907, 1912, 1913, 1916, 1917) , so that his version couldn't be compared with what had been done before. Doug

    Classic 1950's Sci-Fi> Should we redo them today?

    Actually they only had 2 Ants, and one of them couldn't move, it could only be shoved forward or backward. Doug

    Classic 1950's Sci-Fi> Should we redo them today?

    I do not have a problem with remakes that go back to the source material, such as The Thing did. I would not mind seeing a modern version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. It would be interesting to see what someone would do with Ray Bradbury's original material for It Came From Outer Space. The...

    Picture of MGM Stars in 1943

    The odd thing that I notice about the photograph, is that with a few exceptions, they are all NOT looking at the camera that took the photograph. Makes me wonder why they were shooting this with at least 2 cameras, and where the other camera's photograph is? Doug

    Whatever Happened to the Western Movie Genre?

    That is unless you can convince the owners of classic cars to show up for a free meal and the chance to have their car in a movie. If you are in LA, the likelihood is not very great, in other cities people are more willing to come out for the "fun" of being on a movie set. One of the reasons I'm...

    Whatever Happened to the Western Movie Genre?

    I have a friend who is producing a western web series and doing it for about $15,000. Any movie can be made on any budget, its just a matter of how you do it. As Roger Corman once said, "Give me two Centurions, and a bush, and I'll give you a Roman Epic." The point isn't that period films...
